on reopening, the House presents two solo exhibitions and a collective with works by Guto Lacaz, Lenora de Barros and Wagner Malta Tavares.
The Park of Culture House, idealized by Regina Pinho de Almeida, starts a new cycle with three new exhibitions in its space. The Park Gallery receive the press conference AIR, with work Guto Lacaz, Lenora de Barros and Wagner Malta Tavares and text Juliana Muniz. The Cabinet Project exposes Seeds in Pocket from Marcelo pacheco with text from Fernanda Pitta and the Project 280 X 1020 Displays Landscape, a drawing of Adrianne Gallinari. The artistic direction is from Claudio Cretti.
- AIR – Guto Lacaz, Lenora de Barros and Wagner Malta Tavares
The unprecedented meeting of three artists from different generations, but with connections that refer to playfulness in his work proposed by Park of Culture House, establishes dialogues that highlight the common point of irony and grace in his production, alluding to the Pop universe, the fun, to contemporaneity.
“Guto Lacaz and Lenora de Barros begin their trajectories between the end of the years 70 and beginning of 80. multiple artists, transit through several languages as the object, the photography, the installation – all present in this exhibition. Although they depart from different poetics in their research, the two artists have several points of convergence that appear frequently in their productions.. Wagner Malta Tavares, dialogues strongly with these issues, creating a contemporary mythology and updating interests that take us back to both classical antiquity and contemporary Pop. Thereby, the artist's look at the work of his colleagues is striking, as if they were part of an entity that thinks about art, acting in sensitivity with fun and mystery, becoming an enigma for the senses of enjoyment in front of the works", explains Claudio Cretti.
In AIR, all works have a certain kinetics. While the series works ELECTRO BOOKS from Guto Lacaz remain static, they can be triggered by audience interaction and set in motion. “Guto Lacaz presents three of its Electro Books (unpublished in São Paulo), in which elegant and synthetic engines (without fairing) set in motion a detail of an illustration from a book from their personal collection. There is no mutilation of the object, who Lacaz consider sacred, but duplication or amplification of an element affectively chosen to move the page before inert. this air engenders, in each Electro Book, a new plot that extends the underlying narrative, that of the book in question", scores Juliana Muniz.
Already in the creations of Lenora de Barros, his primarily sound work results from movement, by the audience, of the static piece in the showroom. In the words of Juliana Muniz "in order to Lenora de Barros, the world changes depending on where we fix our attention. the visitor from AIR listen to the artist's voice chanting the mantra cageano. In this concert for surround speakers, titled what do you hear, ledebe – in the synthetic nickname she uses on Instagram – it is addressed directly and clearly to the public, inviting care for the other and for the current world.”
The work of Wagner Malta Tavares, in its entirety, are powered by electricity, staying in constant motion. "O ar"about the unheard of pasture of the mythical nature of things”, to use a verse fragment from Drummond's World Machine, reverberates throughout the exhibition. He animates the São João sculptures, Ghost and Kneeling Figure, to the extent that it chokes, for your absence, the work Bermuda [aquarium]”, explains Juliana Muniz.
"I think the world changes because we breathe. when we are born, inspires and spends a lifetime exchanging with the world; in this exchange we transform. Then, when dies, people expire, giving back to the world everything that was lived, but in a totally modified way", the firm Wagner Malta Tavares.
“AIR it's not a retinal exposure. Sound, wind, work that moves. This is an exhibition that puts the viewer in motion", define Claudio Cretti
- Cabinet Project – Marcelo pacheco | seeds in pocket
The artist's oil paintings are made on different and different media, mostly the result of their findings in discreet urban mines. The pictorial result tends to a geometric abstraction from the popular universe.
In Fernanda Pitta's view, "for this exhibition, the artist made him enter the studio, Here and there, refuse, carpentry scraps, empty of useful things, that were being picked by Marcelo pacheco in your daily wandering. in this workspace, which is also a kind of haven of things, are reconfigured as you wrap them with colors, rotating their original positions, or combining them with each other.. Some perform infinite and simple columns in their uneven teeth, others suggest keys for a sound instrument, kind of awkward and fun, built for an invisible giant, able to play a silent harmony. Maybe she's a little clumsy too, but therein lies his grace."
- Project 280 x 1020 – Adrianne Gallinari | Landscape
a single drawing, but large, composes the work of Adrianne Gallinari. Although tending to abstraction, the work is a great landscape, unfigured; a landscape not of observation, but 'invented', made in crayons on fabric. An almost obsessive drawing, where the artist builds this immense work with small scratches until it covers the entire area.
In the words of critic Agnaldo Farias, "from the wrist that tames the energy and makes it converge to the fingertips that hold the instrument to the arm that allows the same energy to flow freely as the will to overflow, the artist compiles the gestures, considering that the lightness of the risk coincides with the desire to leave the support - fabric, paper, wall…- speak and that the thick and regular stroke, obsessive to the point of making the figures scramble, creating a thick net, means the opposite, that the sound and design of the sign came about as a result of our desire to calm the sound of the world. "Words are drawings", says the artist, at the same time that it proposes that the images be understood as scriptures.”

Between 1997 and 2003, carries out an itinerant project of drawings on walls in the cities of São Paulo, Buenos Aires, New York, Pontevedra (Spain), Fortress, Pore (Finland) and Belo Horizonte, in which the design is directly related to the architecture of the exhibition site.
